Pilot Comments

Matt who got us set up with the checklist and keys was very helpful with the local procedures. Las Vegas Approach handled us exactly to plan and the views of the Strip, Hoover Dam and Lake Mead could not have been better.

Matt was terrific to deal with, helping get the reservation set up (conferencing in Rod at one point to answer a question - Thanks Rod!) and providing a lot of good information about the airport and airspace. This was my first OA rental experience, and Airwork Las Vegas has set a high standard for my next one!

The customer service at Airwork Las Vegas is excellent. Reagan handled my rental and she couldn't have made it any easier. Next time I'm in Vegas, I'll be a return customer.

I really appreciate Airwork making their airplanes available on the OpenAirplane network. Note: it's next to impossible to fly anywhere near the strip, but the canyons and view of Vegas in general west of class B is still worth the flight.

This is a place that routinely gets OpenAirplane customers, so they have the system pretty well down pat. When I arrived, the young lady at the desk had my reservation pulled up and immediately handed me the plane materials I'd need. I like they way they have things set up - you get a three-ring binder that has the keys, checklists, Hobbs/tach log, maintenance status, inspection status, vor checks, weight & balance, copies of the airworthiness and registration certificates, and more all in one place. Very well organized. Also, she handed me a small toolbox bag that contained a flashlight, fuel tester, fuel stick, window cleaner and rag, and a quart of oil and an oil rag, and 2 bottles of water. Again, neatly organized and everything I might need. This left a very good impression on me.
The receptionist then walked us out to the airplane and checked to see whether we needed anything else before she left us. This level of customer service is sadly a rare find in the flight training industry, so this place and this receptionist (I sadly don't recall her name) should be recognized for delivering.
Another point of recognition would be the VGT controllers, as well as Nellis Approach and Las Vegas TRACON. I requested and got a squawk code from ground, then told them I was unfamiliar with the airport and requested progressive instructions. They gladly helped out and were very accommodating. On departure, Nellis immediately gave me a bravo clearance. Long story short, I had flight following and prompt service by all controllers for my entire flight.

Well done folks. I'll gladly rent here again!

On short notice I was able to schedule an airplane and go on an air tour of Las Vegas area. The whole process was very weasy and worked just like OpenAirplane says it should. Shannon (at the desk) is great! This is an outstanding place to get an airplane if you are looking to utilize OpenAiprlane while in Las Vegas.

From reservation request to turning in the rental plane's binder - I was amazed by the ease and sheer awesomeness of the process by everyone involved! The support staff at Airwork were easy to work with - super nice & polite, with interesting conversation aplenty - and the instructors considerate a quick orientation of the particular nuances of the field, plane, and airspace. I was inspired to see such a bustling place on a quiet Sunday morning!
If you are going to fly, you should have fun and enjoy the experience - and Airwork delivered, over and above, on both counts. They have earned my highest recommendation!
But don't take my word for it - try them out for yourself!
